"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

73% Answer Correctly

first

third

second

fourth


Solution

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


3

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:

51% Answer Correctly

number of electron shells

number of electrons in their outer electron shell

number of electrons

number of atomic mass units


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


4

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

solid

gel

gas

liquid


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


5

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
